I have a Talon 35 ESC and throttle end points can not be adjusted. After setting Spirit Throttle range, I can't arm the ESC. If I adjust TX Subtrim or Throttle travel down to arm the ESC, the Spirit throttle range gets messed up. Please see the following thread for additional info. Please help! Thank you.

This is not a problem at all. You can and actually you have to use subtrim or other transmitter functions to match the range of the ESC.
If you are not using governor from the unit this is the only option.

Everything should work fine then.

I can't get it to match though. ESC arms at - 130 TX throttle and the Spirit shows - 12 and doesn't start spinning motor until - 88 TX

With governor enabled in Castle you should set stright line as per instruction in the ESC's manual if I am not wrong.
So this behavior is OK - only percentage in the unit does not match, but is not a problem.
